Outstanding representation

I don’t believe I could have found a better attorney to represent me during my (difficult) divorce. She meticulously presented my rights and needs and was not only kind, patient and honest, but tenacious and unreservedly candid. Ms. O’Brien appreciated how very much my relationship with my stepdaug...hters meant to me and did the impossible - she obtained visitation rights for me (and, considering the circumstances, very generous rights.). I remain in her debt.

great consultation

I had a specific question and Atty O'Brien was able to answer it quickly and offer me more related information - she didn't charge me for the 20 minutes on the phone, she will be my first call if I need some help!

Excellent Service by Attorney Deirdre O’Brien

I was looking for Attorney to prepare my Will and few related Documents. I have been referred to Attorney Deirdre O’Brien by a friend. As a result, I have received a very efficient and highly professional service. Attorney O’Brien clearly acted in my best interest in every aspect of the legal procedu...res. She considered and openly discussed with me every pros and cons of every Document, every potential changes, and possible scenario. All necessary Documents has been prepared in a very short period of time. I received electronic drafts of all Documents well before our final meeting has been scheduled, and I was able to review and to make necessary changes to each Document. Every change I’ve made, has been discussed and incorporated in a final version of each Document. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. In addition, it was a real pleasure to interact with Attorney O’Brien, as well as with her stuff and colleagues. I would highly recommend Deirdre O’Brien as an Attorney to everyone who would like to receive a very efficient professional legal help and enjoy a very pleasant environment.

You want her on YOUR side!

Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would need a lawyer, but I am very thankful I knew someone who used Deirdre and recommended her to me. From our very first meeting, I felt like she was a dear old friend and I knew she had my back 100%. We laugh about it now, but from that very fi...rst day, she knew exactly what I needed way before I came to terms with it. At the beginning, she helped me to take baby steps and guided me thru the process when I was nothing but scared, overwhelmed and confused. She helped me to make clear, well thought out decisions when I had to make them, yet helped to teach me a lifelong lesson; that sometimes we don't get choices. She is a true professional and I continue to call on her expertise when needed. She is empowering, extremely compassionate, very knowledgeable and reliable. Most of all she is someone who honestly wants what is best for you and your family. You want her on your side!

Above & Beyond

Attorney O'Brien helped me every step of the way through a really bad situation. There we many dynamics to my divorce with my ex being involved in with drugs, stealing and dealing. Just messy! We lost our house due to a short sale. It was a living nightmare. Deirdre was instrumental in helping me... come back from such a horrible situation. She took time to get to know me, and she provided feedback aside from just supporting the legal aspects. She recommended books and groups that I could join to help through the emotional part of my situation. I feel that Deirdre's best quality is her honest approach. She keeps reality in check and she knows the laws inside and out and approaches the situation with real life perspective. She is up front on the costs, and she wont make you fight for something that she knows wont fly in the courts eyes. I still refer back to Deirdre with questions and concerns that arise and she responds to me almost immediately. She also always takes the time out to ask about me, my son and how my life is at that time, she truly cares about me as a person, not just a client. She is often my sound board and when things get foggy through the ups and downs of life after divorce, she provides advise that helps me make the best decisions for my son and I. I could even go as far to say that I consider her a mentor.
